Hardware and System Constraints

D5 Render adopts RTX real-time ray tracing technology, we strongly recommend NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 or higher, or Quadro RTX series since this new architecture would secure at least 10x speed boost with our implementation. It is a game changer for real-time design interactivity and efficient production of high-quality video animation.

D5 Render’s primary rendering pipeline is built based on DX12 + DXR. It needs Win10 v1809 and higher.

The least requirements for now is GTX 1060 6GB.

Is It Free

Community version is free. It will be lightweight and serve well for individual usage and educational purpose.

Commercial version is for pro users and enterprises, which contains animation&video feature and high-quality assets library.

Rhino, Revit, C4D, and more 3D formats will be supported on the roadmap. Stay tuned.

Why Standalone​

Being standalone fits better as a composer. It minimizes the limitations of assets created by different CAD or modeling software to allow merging them into one project. It is also more extendable to build dedicate video animation modules.

The form as built-in plugin is also needed to bring more responsive experience during design changes. We plan to develop plugins for different platforms on the roadmap, and they’ll be compatible with the standalone version.
